We’ve Got Movie Sign! Check Out The Newest Trailer For Netflix’s ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’

by Shane O'Hare

It’s…it’s finally happening. It’s here. The Netflix Original reboot of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is almost online, and today we’ve got this teaser trailer. WATCH IT!

This is a glorious moment. Die hard MSTies have been dreaming of a revival of their favorite show, and with the generously funded Kickstarter campaign, the dream became a reality.

I was a little nervous when the new cast and crew was announced; changes include new voices for our beloved robots, and a new host. The addition of some flashy Hollywood names, which, to quote a MST3K expert on the subject, is just “diluting the charm of the show with LA stars”, which made a lot of fans  cautious as to how it would all turn out. That being said, Hampton Yount and Baron Vaughn, taking on the roles of Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo respectively, could not have been a better choice. They fit the bill perfectly and I cannot wait to see them riffing on movies. Jury is still out on Felicia and Patton, but I believe Joel Hodgson, the shows creator and lead on the revival, made the right choice.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 returns this April 14th, only on Netflix!

Whovians Watch Out! RiffTrax Take On ‘Doctor Who And The Daleks’!

by Shane O'Hare

The literal comedy geniuses from Mystery Science Theater 3000, Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy are taking on on The Doctor and some Daleks!

Released just yesterday, the guys at RiffTrax jump in front of this semi-canonical Doctor Who flick, and it looks absolutely hilarious. Here is a nice little sample for you!

From the release:

Before Matt Smith, before David Tennant, before Christopher Eccleston, before even the scarf and afro guy, there was Peter Cushing. Well, not before, exactly, because this feature-length movie isn’t a canonical part of the Doctor Who universe or storyline. So it’s sort of more adjacent, than before. It’s nearby, if nothing else. Approximate, at least. Like, Dr. Who is in it! But instead of a mysterious Timelord alien, he’s kind of just a confused human grandpa with the last name Who. But he does have a TARDIS! Of course, instead of a disguised alien craft it’s just, like, this junky thing he made with his granddaughter. Oh yeah, he hangs out with his granddaughters. Yeah. But then they travel through space and fight the most classic Dr. Who bad guys of all, the Daleks! Of course, in this imagining of Dr. Who, the Daleks are just some dopey trashcan looking guys with plungers sticking out of ‘em that talk funny — oh, that’s how they still are? Seriously?? PERFECT! IT’S CANON AFTER ALL!

So if you want this, you can get it VOD with jokes already pre synced! Check out the official page!
